Carbon‐Carbon Bond Formation from Carbon Monoxide and Hydride: The Role of Metal Formyl Intermediates**
Joseph M. Parr, Mark R. Crimmin
Abstract
Abstract Current examples of carbon chain production from metal formyl intermediates with homogeneous metal complexes are described in this Minireview. Mechanistic aspects of these reactions as well as the challenges and opportunities in using this understanding to develop new reactions of CO and H 2 are also discussed.
